LEGISLATIVE HISTORY

Roadmap to the legislative history of CISG Article 58

Introduction

The CISG has a rich and detailed legislative history. The challenge is not
paucity of material, but an overabundance of travaux préparatoires spread over thousands of pages of un-indexed volumes, located in sources we
are not used to accessing, with frames of reference (article numbers) that generally differ from those of
the CISG. Our response is navigation aids (pilots) to identify paths and shoals (caveats) -- roadmaps for each article of the CISG.

This page links to a roadmap to the legislative history of CISG article 58. Alternative
versions of the roadmap may be accessed: short
form; long form. The
short form is limited to citations to printed texts and electronic links to further
data on this article. The long form adds to this material with background
information and other data which, once read, should be regarded as applicable
to each roadmap presented.
